POLL: Have you reached the top in PEAK yet?

PEAK has been out for nearly a week now, and as millions of us have picked up the game, I'm curious to know just how many players have managed to reach the top of the mountain, and who is still searching for their first win. Whether it's as a solo player or as a part of a team, the game is tough to complete, with a different island spawning every day. I have managed to beat it solo, albeit by getting very lucky with my item and equipment drops, including a couple of chain cannons to help me get across the inside of the mountain, but have yet to beat the game on anything other than Tenderfoot difficulty due to a lack of friends to play it with. The starting area is my go to for finding the best items due to the abundance of luggage creates and is always easy to get through, its only when i hit the jungle as a solo player, do I start to find issues, and don't even get me started on the blizzards in the third area. These are where I usually lose my solo runs, either through getting heavily poisoned or attacked by bees, or failing to account for frost damage at the worst possible time when climbing a glacier. On the few attempts I reach the volcano, I seem to have a better time here as it's more about patience than danger, plotting your route by seeing where things are interconnected and waiting for the lava to be at the lowest point to make a run. So long as you don't have to rush, it's fairly easy to get through. Climbing the inside of the volcano, though, is by far the toughest part, especially with how few climbable areas there are or places to hold onto. It really feels like you need to use equipment here on when absolutely necessary to finally reach the peak and get out. But enough waffling about my solo problems. How have you all been faring in PEAK so far? The post POLL: Have you reached the top in PEAK yet? appeared first on Destructoid.
